Marble Legions 

There are 4 extra recordings of this on my Patreon ( www.patreon.com/lostmarbleruns ), using the same ruleset and colours (minor differences like bug fixes between recordings - the published one is the final version)

6:00 The fight between the Clerics using convert on the Champion was hilarious!!

Blue, the instant they realized clerics exist now: "Oh, cool, can we convert all your clerics and champions, Red? thanks." But then they just stopped doing that, and I was very sad.

Clerics can convert other clerics? I find their lack of faith... disturbing...

7:29 perfectly bqlanced marble 11:42 2 clerics playing ping pong with the champion.

6:20 It's very funny how the champion is converted back and forth several times 😆

11:42 When you and your friend have been storing your Uno Reverse cards the whole game:

The general rule of thumb is that is that if a team is getting stomped for the majority of the video, they will win through a bull comeback

Some suggestions for units, maybe? 1. Healers! They heal nearby friendly units. They prioritize special units, and just like archers, they back away from enemy units. They also have similar health to archers. They can be normal units or special units. 2. Generals! These guys buff nearby units, giving them more health AND attack damage! They cannot be converted by clerics, but have a weak attack. They also have the same amount of health as a spearman. They are special units. 3. Traps! These aren't human, but they still hurt. They appear on their respective color's side of the battlefield, and will injure units that step on them. They don't damage catapults, and will self-destruct after activating 3 times. They are special units.

There should be something to stop clerics from converting each other

Wish there would be a fuse function to decide how the army will be organized, so we can have for example spears behind shields

Spoilers The unexpected comeback from red with the catapults after nearly losing at the hands of the clerics

I have an idea for a type of unit! Horsemen: fast, and with a larger detection radius, so they'll attack undefended flanks.

I have a concern with clerics. If clerics can convert other clerics, then 2 or more of them in both sides just results in an infinite loop of conversion. They really shouldn't, although it generates a comedic effect whenever an infinite loop occurs. Also, one more thing. The specials are kinda limited, so I'll suggest some that could fit: > Intern - A single-target healer, good for healing champions. Has a slow reload but massive heal, targets the lowest hp, has long range. Cannot heal catapults, towers, or castles. > Paramedic - A multi-target healer, good for healing groups. Has a fast reload but small heal, has medium range. Heals in an area (circle). Cannot heal catapults, towers, or castles. > Engineer - Fixes damaged towers ("heals" them) and the castle itself, rebuilds missing towers. Stays at spawn if no building is damaged or missing. Prioritizes rebuilding the castle over other tasks. > Sniper - Never moves, prioritizes high-hp targets. Deals gargantuan damage over incredibly slow reload. Full board range but is weak to close-ranged attacks.

"Wolololo!" - Cleric

I really liked the Marble legions. I have a few ideas on how to improve Marble legions even more 1. Levels. When one warrior kills enough warriors, his level increases. Thanks to the level, his characteristics increase. Minimum level:1. Maximum level:5. 2. Mutations. Some warriors may have a mutation. Due to mutations, the war may decrease or acquire some characteristics. 3. 🏳️. Some wars can surrender and become wars of other kingdoms. That's all. Thank you for your attention. Good luck (sorry if there are errors in the text, I'm just writing this with a translation because I don't know English) (I'm Russian)

This is a very cool concept, and of course i must ask, is this canon to the MKCU?

GLORY TO RED!!! THIS DAY WAS LONG-COMING!!!

Cool video, some Ideas for impovments: 1. Units should prioritize the outer buildings more. It doesn't make much sense to ignore them and go straight for the castle 2. Clerics shouldn't be able to mind control special units 3. Catapults shouldn't friendly fire, or should have better aim That's it for now. Good luck

With how the clerics work, it seems like they can be immensely powerful if there were enough of them.

A great new theme

It's not bad, although some things need to be polished, the most important would be to ensure that the special units are not affected by the cleric. One of the ideas that I propose would be to make the units able to level up, in the case of the squads, they would have to kill twice as many troops that came from that squad and for the surviving troops to level up, and in the case of the champions it would be between 30-50, you decide which one would be better, and the champions who reach level 3 can evolve into one of these Warrior: Your attack speed is increased by half and your damage is increased by 20% Tank: Your attack speed is reduced by 90% and mobility by 40%, but you gain 30% health, a 30% damage reduction and 0.5 regeneration per second. good video and it keeps getting better

Mixing Marble Kingdoms and Space Fleet War is such a refreshing and creative idea but it might be interesting If you were to allow the marbles to spin like with Marble Kingdoms instead of forcing them to look in one direction. Maybe just as an experiment. Or maybe just ditch the column altogether and allow them to move freely. That way you can incorporate some of the features of Trench War but and maybe even heroes. (although Fleet War would feel less incorporated ) The column & row picker maybe be more like Fleet War to allow for larger numbers unlike the set ones. Anyways fun watch, if you were to upload more I'd still watch it.

Marble Kingdoms meets Space Fleet war. 2 of my favorite series. This will be good.

It was weird that red fighters seemed to prioritize the central blue building over the outer towers, but not vice versa. Maybe a tracking glitch? Might be worth checking

the catapults are friends with red

Ah yes. Classic AoE2 monks shouting wololo and converting everyone.

I like the idea, I think it would be way better with a few small changes. So is goes on the same lines as the better 3D space wars - Bigger map for starters, maybe 2-3x as large (or smaller marbles) Then the main change, rather than spawn individual units 1 at a time, like 3d space war, there would be an "army building phase" which would all then be released into the battlefield to fight. These units would only attack the base after all enemy units on the "battlefield" were killed. Towers would only activate after the battlefield phase was over (So they don't influence the battling armies) It would create larger scale battles with less charging the towers just to die. If you/anyone has thoughts for this would love to see them bellow as i reckon this mode has a lot of potential!

i was so focused on the clerics summoning that saved red I didn't even notice blue complete annihilation by the catapult division. "I was like, cool you survived now you can turn this around and win" then I looked over at blue's side, and there was nothing left. I had to rewatch the last two minutes just to see what happened

Hmm, I just thought of a couple new concepts for this. To expand the Units category, the Assassin. Assassin squads move quickly and hit hard, but are extremely fragile. These squads have a special AI that will ignore Spearmen, Shielders, Champions and structures, and will instead focus down Archers and Clerics. Assassins will only attack structures or enemy melee combatants if their intended targets are not currently on the battlefield. To expand on the Special category, an Upgrade Squad button. This would take the marble back up to the Units category with a + on it and a special barrier that prevents it from re-accessing the Special category. Upgrading a squad would do the following to each squad: -Spearmen become Pikemen, with their range extended up to approx. 1 tile, allowing for multiple rows of them to attack at once. -Archers become Crossbowmen, which have a much longer range and deal more damage, but don't quite fire as quickly -Shielders become Hoplites, with much more health and slightly longer range in exchange for some of their movement speed -Assassins become Berserkers, fast but fragile heavy-hitting melee units who now target everything rather than only targeting backline units What do you think?

The way red won at the end makes me think if you did this 100 times it would probably largely rest on which team builds up a critical mass of catapults. Makes me think one more unit in the mix to counter catapults would be useful. Maybe a fast moving cavalry unit that will always prioritise catapults (or any special units?) if there are any on screen. Maybe make the cavalry weak against buildings so that they can’t really play a decisive role in destroying the castles.

WHAT IN THE WORLD LOST MARBLES YOU MADE SOMETHING SO COOL ONCE AGAIN

You think you can use this type of attack for marble kingdoms?

That one champion be like "guys, can i please go already?"

11:43 Here you can see how two clerics stubbornly convince the champion to be for them

Hey, I ABSOLUTELY LOVE this new concept! Building on the basics of Total War, with mobile units and formation and tactics, this is a great simple 1v1 game with emergent behaviour and strategies. My suggestions: 1. Add a skill for each unit, like shield barge for swordsmen, javelin throw for spears, longbow barrage for archers that has longer range and deal more damage, but each skill has a charging period before each use. 2. New unit like Horsemen that can charge into units flanks and rears and deal knockback and extra damage, and armored Lancers that are special units that can slice through lines of archers, but are weak to close ranged Pikes and slightly weak against spears. 3. LOVE the clerics and catapults and champions, keep them special and op. :) 4. Morale system, so that if an army suddenly loses a lot of troops (like from a lancer charge), they have a chance of shattering and fleeing. So a large army attacked in the back by a small force has a chance of breaking for dramatic twists. 5. Different army formations with strengths and weaknesses, with chaining and following other legions. Also, special units that can buff attack, defense, morale or speed or defend a particular vital unit like clerics or catapults or archers. 6. Assassin unit that prioritises enemy special units for surgical operations behind enemy lines that can turn the tide of a war.

small bug I think is worth noting, when the champion targets one marble and swings their sword when the marbles are touching, the marble doesn't get hit by the sword it happens here: 5:14 the red warrior on the top right

oh man that was a huge comeback. I thought that celric doom stack was gonna make it a forgone conclusion.

No matter the era, Artillery is the God of War.

cleric is a no brainer and totally killing the purpose.

red did crazy with the catapult spam

Oh how I yearned about creating a sandbox game almost exactly like this one, where you can just mess around and spawn units to watch them fight. Maybe also with a unit-editor where you can make custom units of different sizes/health/weapons/damage/movement speed/accuracy etc and just spawn them around and watch the mayhem. In the old days of Yoyogames, they had a lot of sandbox-themed games like that.

ну что тут можно сказать... Артилерия - бог войны

The cleric turning cleric moments😂😂😂

It's an awesome video. I love it because it felt like watching a real war :)

As a Fallout New Vegas player myself, this is strangely relatable.

suggestion- "civilization, a huge map with a base of the war games, but technology progress is something that can be gotten, and advances their options- and have it be huge scale

Love this and can't wait to see where it goes! Suggestions; catapults should get target leading but higher forced miss radius. That would make them more effective against moving armies while not being OP. Also, as others have mentioned, cavalry.

Красные проигрывали 3:0, но по какому-то чуду они стали сильнее и победили.) Как говорится, "Гейб, где баланс?" 😅

this is perfect to watch, as my sanity slowly withers away

if i had a nickel for every time the clerics played ping pong with a champion in this video, I'd have two nickels. which isn't a lot, but it's funny it happened twice.

Bro the catapults are so op theres no way red comeback from that

This is really cool idea

people who wanted blue to win 👇

Clerics should be immune to conversion because they have strong faith

Dang it blue, you had it in the BAG

Cool stuff, I hope to be creating some cool YT marble games like yours soon. Keep up the awesome work. Fun to watch.

loved the battle

This is good. Just please don’t stop posting more marble kingdoms , I watch those religiously 😂 Also, it be awesome if you can make marble kingdoms a game that you can download.

The twist is more superior than modern movies.

the cleric meta is super interesting

And this is why Artillery wins wars

Red found the old trusty tactic, of '' I have bigger gun, so you come to me''

I imagine this is what warfare in Flatland would look like

Wow, the Red Army was losing until they discovered the power of artillery and man they RAN with it

The red horde attacked lol

Blue Team: Human wave tactics, largely quantity over quality Red Team: MORRR DAKKA! *summons ALL THE CATAPULTS*

13:27 wow red that’s a lot of archers

Bro TWIST ENDING lol

Blue clerics really did red dirty with all the champions they took. Good thing red got the catapults though

May I suggest factions, having differant units per kingdom? Could make for very interesting balance and nuances, something similar to how PaiNite is doing it.

in my head i could hear the WOLOLOO from good ol' age of empires

red had a major comeback

I need more cleric war

clerics should probably be immune to conversion by other clerics in future

Blue was doing an amazing job and could of Really fucken easily won at the beginning when they had 4 Clerks converting all the enemy team including their own clerics But..lost it when they they got pushed forward by the new units Since then they had no hope especially when Red kept pumping out nothing but catapults.

Hey are you thinking of adding clerics to marble kingdoms it would be so cool to see say a general turn and fallow another king or even a king get turned and fallow another king

Esses magos são realmente muito apelões, os azuis quase ganharam por causa da forte ofensiva dos magos no inicio, mas depois foi se equilibrando, e as catapultas do vermelho foram essências nessa vitória de virada

red outnumbering blues catapults 9-0 at one point is disgusting

More of these, this is awesome!

Oh gosh its like Age of Empires 2 all over again! Wololo

wooo i was rootin for red the whole game

Clerics converting Clerics should not be possible. Major power boost if this happens.

In my mind all I can hear was WOLOLO!!!

13:55 Red Generals are like "Dynasty Warriors"...XD

new rome total war expansion pack looks *very* promising

Clash of Clans vibes 😂

Lost Marbles, I really like to watch your content and I really get excited when I see something new. I really can’t believe you already have 40k+ subs! I remember when this channel had only a few thousand. This channel has grown a lot and I really hope your channel expands on the type of fun to watch content. I like your videos Lost Marbles! Keep up the great work! It makes my day to see something new from you!

The first song on this video can be heard in the Shortest Video on RU-vid series by Mylo the Cat.

That was insane!

cool marble fight!

i wish they spin and bounce around. but this is good

ah yes, Warhammer fantasy edition!

I was rooting for red from the start but did not think they'd be able to win until I saw the catapults spawn.

One touch Converting Champion is OP they need resistant

Man, I was cheering for blue, I was hoping they would at least take down red with them in that final counterstrike.

Maybe start off with one marble selecting units for every building the team has and take them away as buildings get destroyed?

12:10 aint no way the mages are goofing up with champion turning him blue and red

REDS COMEBACK AFTER THEY ARE 75% DESTROYED

What if you made the cleric's cooldown proportional to the strength of the unit they convert?
